Yaxha Archaeological Focus Afternoon and Sunset Tour with Monkeys Spotting

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the mystical beauty of Yaxha National Park on this afternoon-to-sunset tour. Known as one of the most stunning and less-crowded Mayan sites in Guatemala, Yaxha offers a rich combination of archaeology, nature, and panoramic views.

You’ll explore significant landmarks like the North Acropolis, the Grupo Malher, and the Square of the Columns, walking along ancient causeways once used for sacred processions and commerce. As you wander through this ancient city, keep your eyes open for howler and spider monkeys swinging through the trees. You'll also spot countless tropical birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

Climb to the top of the Temple of the Red Hands for a 360° view over the surrounding jungle and lakes, and experience the sunset from one of the highest points in the Mayan world. The calm atmosphere, combined with the sounds of nature, makes for an unforgettable way to end the day.

Throughout the tour, an expert bilingual guide will bring the ruins to life, sharing stories of Mayan mythology, astronomy, and history. Along the way, enjoy a traditional Guatemalan lunch and stay refreshed with water refills during your journey.
